Em's Nascar Adventures
I love NASCAR racing......and the orange background should tell you that I'm particularly fond of Tony Stewart in the #20 Home Depot Car. I've taken track tours at Homestead and Daytona, and since it's not nearly as much fun to go to races alone, I convinced my brother that we should attend one race a year.  For 2005, we picked Charlotte and the Lowes Motor Speedway.
The Charlotte area contains a number of racing garages including Joe Gibbs Racing - owner of the #20.  We also visited Richard Childress Racing....whose drivers include Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon.

But the highlight of the trip was the race itself.  As you can see, we had great seats - the shot here was taken before the start of the race while the cares were lining up.
